Kick, punch, elbow, knee! Known as the king of the ring, Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand. Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) includes kicking and punching as well as devastating elbow and knee strikes. For this reason, Muay Thai is sometimes called the science of the eight limbs.. Thai training methods develop devastating power, speed and superb cardio-vascular endurance as well as fighting spirit. Muay Thai training is also quite safe thanks to sophisticated pad training that evolved to keep fighters healthy between fights. Muay Thai has also proven very effective outside the ring and has been embraced enthusiastically by practitioners of a variety of self-defense, sporting, military and law enforcement activities. Because of its effectiveness, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters typically favor Muay Thai over other striking-oriented martial arts, such as Tae Kwon Do, Karate and Kung Fu.
